    I analyze the tables each week primarily to populate NUM_ROWS in
USER_TABLES. I use ANALYZE TABLE because that works better in 8.1.6. Then I
save the data to a separate table along with the date I did it. The primary
rows are schema_name (if there is more than one schema of interest), date,
num_rows, chained_rows, blocks. Whatever suits your purposes. Then I can go
back and see the pattern of growth over time.

How do you guys collect capacity planning metrics, such as DB size? 

Do you use StatsPack, Oracle OEM, others?  I'm interested in an efficient
method to track DB growth in GB month over month.
